Hard Rain

Film & Lecture by Mark Edwards

Hard Rain is a collaborative work between Bob Dylan and Mark
Edwards. it is a witness report thirty years in the making. The
film opens with Bob Dylan's poetic Masterpiece "A Hard Rain's
A-Gonna Fall", synced to photographic images from around the world.
Dylan sets the scene for a moving and unforgettable exploration of
the state of our planet at this critical time. Meet the people at
the sharp end of the environmental debate in squatter cities,
villages, jungles and desserts across Africa, Asia and South
America then look at the modern world with new eyes; both the
extraordinary achievements and the crisis we face as our goals
become inflated - as modernity became the sign of conquest,
exploitation, overconsumption and the destruction of the earth.

Mark Edwards is one of the few environmantal communicators to
have personally witnessed the global issues that are defining the
21st century. Assignments for magazines, NGOs and United Nations
agencies have taken him to over 150 countries. One of the most
widely published photographers in the world, his pictures are in
many international museums and private collections and have been
exhibited in galleries in Europe and the US.
